codable

First of all, Sorry for unclear title of question I'm making a codable struct which will be used as json message. enum MessageType: String, Codable{ case content case request case response } struct Message: Codable{ var type: MessageType var content: /* NEED HELP HERE */ } struct Content: Codable {...} struct Request: Codable {...} struct Response: Codable {...} When declaring Message , if its type is content , its content 's type should be Content . let message = Message( type: .content, content: Content( ... ) } When type is request , its content 's type should be Request . let message =

Looking for some input as to how you would handle the scenario I recently ran into. I have been using Swift 4s Codable with success but today noticed a crash that I didn't expect. The API that I am working with, says it returns a boolean for the key manage_stock . My stubbed struct looks like: struct Product: Codable { var manage_stock: Bool? } That works fine, the problem is that the API sometimes returns a string instead of a boolean . Because of this, my decode fails with: Expected to decode Bool but found a string/data instead. The string only ever equals "parent" and I want it to equate

Swift's JSONDecoder offers a dateDecodingStrategy property, which allows us to define how to interpret incoming date strings in accordance with a DateFormatter object. However, I am currently working with an API that returns both date strings ( yyyy-MM-dd ) and datetime strings ( yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ), depending on the property. Is there a way to have the JSONDecoder handle this, since the provided DateFormatter object can only deal with a single dateFormat at a time? One ham-handed solution is to rewrite the accompanying Decodable models to just accept strings as their properties and to

Hi I have the following structure nested in a bigger structure that is returned from an api call but I can't manage to encode/decode this part. The problem I am having is that the customKey and customValue are both dynamic. { "current" : "a value" "hash" : "some value" "values": { "customkey": "customValue", "customKey": "customValue" } } I tried something like var values: [String:String] But that is obviously not working because its not actually an array of [String:String] . Since you linked to my answer to another question, I will expand that one to answer yours. Truth is, all keys are known
